Welcome
Welcome to my Sketch pages. These pages are dedicated to visual deepsky observing. No photography is found here except in my equipment section. If you are into photography, I can recommend some sites for example this site of my observing buddy Vesa Kankare.If there is dark and clear outside, you can bet that I am there with my eye in the eyepiece observing, wondering and sketching these faint fuzzies. Some of these sketches you can find here in my weblog. Clear skies to you all nutcases...

Everything sketched in this picture was seen looking straight to. No averted vision was needed. It was just impossible to sketch everything I saw because of the massive amount of details. A bridge between M51 and NGC 5195 was also clear and bright. Definitely the best sight through an eyepiece I have seen so far. I had the honour to be the first to sketch with 91cm Astrofox telescope in Artjarvi observatories.
